Perceived attributes included convenience, health benefits, and taste. Six soyfood products were tofu, vegetable burgers, soy milk, soy supplements, meat substitutes, and soy cheese. This study used conceptual model that highlights the role of perceived attributes in a demand model by combining Lancaster's characteristics model with Fishbein's multi-attribute model. Zero-inflated negative binomial model (ZINB) was used as an empirical specification to address the zero consumption of soyfood products. Results show that perceived health attribute of soyfood had differential effects across the six soyfood products. While having a significant effect on other products, it did not influence tofu consumption decision. Convenience of preparation and consumption, and tastefulness had strong impacts consistently across all five types of soyfood products. The study identified several socio-economic characteristics of consumers that had a significant relationship with soyfood consumption patterns. However, these characteristics had varying effects across the six soyfood products. Implications for food industry are discussed in relation to the differential effects of health attributes and socio-demographic profiles. 000034999 546__ $$aEnglish 000034999 650__ $$aConsumer/Household Economics 000034999 650__ $$aFood Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety 000034999 700__ $$aRimal, Arbindra 000034999 700__ $$aMoon, Wanki 000034999 700__ $$aBalasubramanian, Siva K. 000034999 8564_ $$909d32c0b-5f91-4e6e-b306-6ecbf6175220$$s318865$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/34999/files/sp07ri01.pdf 000034999 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/34999 000034999 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:34999$$pGLOBAL_SET 000034999 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2007-03-07T16:09:40Z (GMT).
